antihero

In a world governed by unseen power and unspoken rules, silence can be deadlier than war. Kael has no interest in glory, justice, or revenge. His eyes are set on something far greater. Absolute freedom. But in a land where noble blood shapes truth and history is rewritten by those who hold it, carving a path forward means stepping into shadows darker than any battlefield. As alliances rot from within and the public's faith grows fragile, the question isn't who holds power. It’s who understands how to use it.

Aku was not the hero destined to save the world, nor the princess destined to be rescued. He was the demon king. Born without a name, without form, without freedom, predestined to die at the hands of the hero from his birth. However, Aku decided to defy fate. He took over the hero's body to find his freedom. It was then that an angel spoke to him, believing he was the hero who had failed to defeat the demon king. The angel told him that countless worlds and countless demon kings existed; those heroes who failed their mission were sent to an academy to amend their mistake. Now Aku will find himself caught up in battles with other demon kings and wars in other worlds while deciding whether to choose the path of good or allow himself to be consumed by darkness.

Mio was the worst healer in Tokyo. F-grade, dead weight—her party kept her around out of pity until they did the math and left her bleeding in a ruined cathedral. Something ancient was waiting there. It offered her a Class that devours its hosts—a path of power that claimed the lives of the three Biomancers who came before her. Mio said yes anyway. She’d already felt the sting of a slow death; what was one more monster in her veins? Now pain is currency, death is fuel, and the hunger grows with every kill. The Bureau wants a weapon. Her sister wants her home for dinner. Mio agreed to both. In a world of Systems and Dungeons, power isn't a gift; it's a trade. And Mio is finally ready to pay the price.

Kael, a corporate strategist who lived by cutting throats metaphorically, finds himself in the brutal reality of Arrakis after waking up in the body of Morvani, a low-level spice smuggler. He is the host of the Sand Worm God System, an alien interface that views water as corruption and seeks to turn him into the living embodiment of the desert. As the Atreides fall and the Harkonnens reclaim Arrakis, Kael navigates the sands not as a hero, but as a rising predator. By building a smuggling empire, controlling "blood addicts" through spice, and learning to command the great Shai-Hulud, he prepares for the coming fire. He is gaining a god-like dominion over the silica and the sand, but with every kilometer of desert he claims, he feels his own humanity grinding away. The System: Sand Worm God Sand Resonance (SR): The measure of Kael's connection to silica. This allows him to sense grain movements and eventually "shape" the sand into physical barriers, weapons, or structures. Drought Aura (DA): A passive moisture-absorption field. Anything within range—including living beings—slowly begins to lose water to Kael, feeding his power while mummifying his enemies. Worm Sovereignty (WS): The ability to communicate with and eventually command the sandworms. It starts with sensing their movements ("Thumper Echo") and peaks with absolute control over the Great Makers. Human Retention (HR): A critical tracker of Kael's remaining empathy. Using his more "monstrous" desert powers (like "Parching Touch") or making cold-blooded sacrifices for efficiency causes his HR percentage to drop, moving him closer to a purely alien, god-like state.

[Special Forces Cook] + [Monster Girls] + [Base Building] Marcus thought he left the war behind when he hung up his rifle and picked up a spatula.

A modern US soldier and his batallion die immediately when flying to a rapid mobilization order in Iraq. The Goddess Triamal saves the batallion and offers them a tantalizing offer: Live a second time with a chance for redemption, or die and return to Earth. Most take the offer, going to war against a world. The age old question: "can a modern army unit win against an entire world" is on display here. *Disclaimers* There is no harem in here. There is a single FMC, and that will never change. Yes, there will be romance, and no the MC is not a spineless wimp who doesn't know how to treat women. This is not a "guy gains a system, and speed blitzes everything" story, there are stakes, there will be death, and the pacing may slow at times. I may get a few things wrong from time to time about how a battalion moves. Feel free to tell me when/if that happens. This is not a story about "conquering another world because a portal showed up." No, this is "we are fighting an entire world for our second chance at life"
